Takin' Care Of Business Composer(s): Randy Bachman - C.F. Turner First release by: Bachman-Turner Overdrive - 1973 Covered by multiple other artists
They get up every morning from the alarm clock's warning Take the eight-fifteen into the city There's a whistle up above and people push and people shove And all the girls, who try to look pretty And if your train's on time you can get to work by nine And start your slaving job to get your pay If you ever get annoyed look at me I'm self-employed I love to work at nothing all day
And I've been takin' care of business everyday Takin' care of business every way I've been takin' care of business it's all mine Takin' care of business and working overtime Workout
If things were easy as fishing you could be a musician If you could make sounds loud or mellow Get a second hand guitar Chances are you'll go far If you get in with the right bunch of fellows People see you having fun just a lying in the sun And tell them that you like it this way It's the work that we avoid and we're all self employed We love to work at nothing all day
And we've been takin' care of business everyday Takin' care of business every way We've been takin' care of business it's all right Takin' care of business and working overtime
Take good care of my business When I'm away Everyday
They get up every morning from the alarm clock's warning Take the eight-fifteen into the city There's a whistle up above and people push and people shove And the girls, who try to look pretty And if your train's on time you can get to work by nine And start your slaving job to get your pay If you ever get annoyed look at me I'm self-employed I love to work at nothing all day
And I've been takin' care of business everyday Takin' care of business every way I've been takin' care of business It's all mine Takin' care of business and working overtime
Takin' care of business Takin' care of business Takin' care of business Takin' care of business Takin' care of business Everyday Takin' care of business Every way Takin' care of business It's all mine Takin' care of business And working overtime Takin' care of business

Take Your Girlie To The Movies (If You Can't Make Love At Home) Composer(s): Bert Kalmar - Edgar Leslie Performer(s): Dean Martin
Beatrice Fairfax gives advice To anyone in love That's why Johnny Gray Wrote to her one day 'When I call to love my girl Her folks are always there That's why I'm blue What shall I do?" And Beatrice said, "never despair"
Sweethearts always used to spoon In a big morris chair Young folks of today Have a different way Far away from cranky dad And mother's eagle eye It's lots of fun Here's how it's done So come on and give it a try
Take your girlie to the movies If you can't make love at home There's not little brother there who always squeals You can say an awful lot in the seven reels Take your lessons at the movies And have love scenes of your own When the pictures over and it's time to leave Don't forget to brush the powder off your sleeve Take your girlie to the movies If you can't make love at home
Take your girlie to the movies If you can't make love at home Pick a cozy corner where it's nice and dark Don't catch influenza, kissing in the park Take your lessons at the movies And have love scenes of your own Tho she's just a simple little ribbon clerk Close your eyes and think you're kissing Billie Burke Take your girlie to the movies If you can't make love at home

Performer(s): Sacha Distel - 1976
Des cils en soie bleutée Et des lèvres couleur abricot Tu voudrais à tout prix ressembler A Marilyn ou à Garbo Fume-cigarettes et talons hauts Avec une robe noire rétro Mais moi, qui te connaît si bien, qui t'aime Ce n'est pas pour ça que je suis avec toi
Baby star, my baby star Tu es tellement plus belle Baby star, ô my baby star Quand tu es naturelle Star, ha-ha-hain
Tirée des romans d'Hemingway Ou sortie d'un film de Fellini Capricieuse comme une reine de Broadway Comédienne par instinct, tu pleures, tu ries Tu séduis, tu t'enfuies dans la nuit Comme un rêve entrevu au hasard d'une rue Mais moi, qui te connaît et qui t'aime aussi Ce n'est pas pour ça que je suis avec toi
Baby star, my baby star Tu es tellement plus belle Baby star, ô my baby star Quand tu es naturelle Star, ha-ha-hain
Cheveux dans le vent Dans une robe couleur pois de senteur C'est ainsi que je t'ai connue C'est comme ça que je veux te garder
Baby star, my baby star Tu es tellement plus belle Baby star, ô my baby star Quand tu es naturelle Star, ha-ha-hain
I found a woman I felt a true love She was everything I'd ever been dreaming of
But she was bad, I didn't know it Her pretty smile never did show it All I knew is what I could see And I knew I wanted her for me
Took her home to mama Mama, wanna see my future bride Well she looked at us both Then she called me to her side
She said, "son, take time to know her It's not an overnight thing Take time to know her Please don't go rushin to do your thing
But I didn't listen to my mama I went straight to the church I just couldn't wait for that little girl of mine When I got off from work The preacher was there So was my future bride He looked at us both and he called me to his side
Take time to know her Not an overnight fling Take time to know her Don't go rushin to do your thing
But it looks like every thing's gonna turn out all right But then I came home from work a little early one night And there she was kissin on another man Now I know what mama meant when she took me by the hand She said, take time to know her Not an overnight fling Take time to know her Don't go rushin to do your thing She said, take time to know her Not an overnight fling Take time to know her Don't go rushin to do your thing Take time to know her ...

You feel like Steve McQueen
When you're driving in your car
And you think you look like James Bond
When you're smoking your cigar
It's so bizarre
You think you are a new kind of James Dean
But the only thing I've ever seen of you
Was a commercial spot on the screen
Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah, you think you are a Movie
Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah, you think you are a Movie-Star ah ah ah
You should belong to the jet set
Fly your own private learjet
But you worked in a grocery store
Every day you could afford to get away
So you went to sweden to meet ingrid bergman
But he wasn't there or he yust didn't care
I think it's time for you my friend
To stop pretending that you are a moviestar
Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah, you think you are a Movie
Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah, you think you are a Movie-Star ah ah ah
Frozen hero
Your words are zero
Your dreams have vanished into dark long ago
But you're the one to know
Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah, you think you are a Movie
Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah, you think you are a Movie
Moviestar, oh Moviestar, ah ah ah, you think you are a Movie-Star ah ah ah
